Re: can anyone teach me how to achieve this?

Hi Bro.. this is done by increasing the shutter speed.. means to actually open the shutter for a longer period of time.. trick as it might cause the background to be overexposed..

That'll be with the waterfall I presume? If it is bright you may need a ND filter as exposure for silky waterfall can be in the seconds. Try 1, 2, 4 and 8 seconds for different effects to see what you like. And be thankful you're not using film

Re: can anyone teach me how to achieve this?

Most likely needs an ND grad filter to pull off. I'd bracket a few shots to find the median of exposure between the sky and beach and then post process from there since I dont have an ND Grad. However, the pictures in this case seemed to have been sitched from seperate photos taken to exposure for the sky and sea alone.

Re: can anyone teach me how to achieve this?

hi, newbie here. just curious how do u achieve this effect on the water? handheld or tripod? exposure, iso etc?

thanks in advance, bros!

which effect?

clouds cannot be achieved with anything, they have to be there

if you're talking about water,

shutter speed is key, if you understand how iso/shutter speed/aperture work, to be honest, maybe do not even need nd filters, just stop down to f/19 or f/22 (diffraction is seriously overrated at times, depending on lens), iso lowest possible, and go bananas.

i tried on a sunny day with ND filter. with F20, ISO100.
still get overexposed pix.
